The surface of the ocean bulges outward and inward reflecting the topography of the ocean floor. A dense mapping of ocean surface topography from declassified Geosat altimeter data (US Navy), ERS-1 altimeter data (European Space Agency), and repeat-track coverage from the Topex/Poseidon altimeter (NASA and CNES) has provided the first view of the ocean floor structures in many remote areas of t...

متن کاملWavelet Analysis and Its Applications Wavelet Analysis a N D Its Applications
Wavelet analysis is a rapidly developing area of mathematical and application-oriented research in many disciplines of science and engineering. The wavelet transform is a localized transform in both space (time) and frequency, and this property can be advantageously used to extract information from a signal that is not possible to unravel with a Fourier or even windowed Fourier transform. Wavel...
متن کاملPhysical Oceanography in Canada , 2003 - 2007 : A Review for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics
This report presents a brief summary of papers describing physical oceanographic research undertaken in Canada in the period 2003 to early 2007. This report is part of the Canadian contribution to the International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Ocean (IAPSO) on the occasion of the meeting of the Interannual Association of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) in Perugia, Italy in July 20...
متن کاملGlobal estimates of seafloor slope from single-beam ship soundings
[1] Rough topography on the ocean floor is a source of ocean mixing which is of interest to both physical oceanography and climate science. Most mixing has been attributed to high slopes of the large-scale structures of the deep ocean floor such as seamounts, continental margins, and mid-ocean ridge axes. In this paper, we show the small-scale but ubiquitous abyssal hills and fracture zones dom...
